Chance to Win a Blackbird, Fly @ FourCornersDark.com

blackbird-fly-camera-1

Nic Nichols over at Four Corners Dark is giving away a Blackbird, Fly toy camera in his monthly competition. ALl you have to do is write a short piece about why you use toy cameras, what attracts you to them, and how you got into them:

Each contest we’ve had so far has been about the images themselves, but this one is about the story behind them. The rules are simple, tell us why you shoot toy cameras and the author of the most inspiring story gets a Blackbird, Fly. You read that correctly. You also get 12 rolls of film to get the party started. If you haven’t had the chance to shoot with one, or maybe haven’t wanted to invest the money, here is your chance.

Each entry will become one of the weekly features, with the winner being the premiere. Here’s all you need to do… send us your story about why you shoot Toy Cameras, what got you into them and the roll they play in your photography. 1,000 words or less. Include 3-5 images that are a good representation of your work: ones that you personally like- you aren’t being judged on the images. Also include links to your site, blog, flickr or anything else you’d like to share- remember this contest is all about you. The contest starts today and ends on midnight February 28th, 2009. Pretty easy, right? Judges decisions are final, and each entry agrees to be part of the weekly feature. Hopefully we’ll get a year’s worth!

Head over to http://fourcornersdark.com/ for a chance to win! Take the time to look through the blog too, it’s an excellent source for toy camera news and commentary!
